But I guess Mrs. Rowley doesn’t care. She’s got a job now, working the desk of a motel in town. I see her walking to it in the evenings, coming home in the morning. She puts the flat of her hand over her eyes like a visor, and looks right into the rising sun.     Ed Schwebbe comes out in his van every morning now to pick up Travis for school, and sometimes he comes at night too, just after Mrs. Rowley leaves for work. I don’t know where they go. If he sees me in my window, he waves quickly, and that’s it. It’s okay, though. I can wait. Next year, we will be in the same school again, and then maybe.     But one night, finally, I see him. Deena and I are in a booth at McDonald’s, studying for a history test, and in he walks with Ed Schwebbe. They are laughing about something, wiping snow off their jackets. He sees me and waves with a red mitten.     Deena looks up. “What?”     “Don’t turn around.”
